While this article is from a year ago, this initiative is running again this year, until the end of January.

Recycle Broken or Unwanted Holiday Lights at All Cape Cod Transfer Stations:

“This time of the year, countless strands of holiday lights are thrown away because a single bulb goes out or breaks,” said Kari Parcell, Cape Cod Cooperative Extension’s Municipal Assistance Coordinator. “With this free collection drive, Barnstable County can divert all holiday lights from the landfill, as recycled goods. This helps save the environment by reducing the amount of waste entering our landfills.”

Holiday lights that are accepted:

Rope lights
Garland lights
C7 and C9 bulbs
Mini lights
LED holiday lights.
Lights attached to trees cannot be accepted. Other light fixtures, such as lighted angels, stars, or other lighted items cannot be accepted.
